Archaic, sensuous and groovy – these choral compositions are Alpine-inspired world music with special brilliance.
Modern in the sense of “in keeping with the times” these relatively easy-to-sing secular and sacred choral pieces move within a wide stylistic range – folksong, classic, contemporary, popular, groovy and world music.
With this collection Lorenz Maierhofer defines and characterizes the meaning of yodel for choir as a new world music genre of an Alpine nature – comparable to other more recent manifestations in folk, ethno and crossover music, for example, Hubert von Goisern and the modern “joik” singing of Scandinavia.
These yodels for choir can be sung with Alpine, High German and sometimes also with Spanish, English or even Korean lyrics.
